History & Social Science

Critical Examination of the Past is Paramount

The History and Social Science Department fosters a deep understanding of the past and its influence on the present and future. Our curriculum aligns with standards from NCSS and NAIS, ensuring a comprehensive and rigorous experience.

We aim to develop informed, critical thinkers ready to engage thoughtfully in civic and community life. By examining historical events, social movements, and political systems, students gain a nuanced perspective on contemporary issues and the interconnectedness of history and social sciences.

The program emphasizes critical reading, writing, research, and verbal communication. Students learn to identify scholarly sources, analyze primary and secondary documents, construct coherent arguments, and present their ideas effectively. 

Recognizing the role of digital literacy, technology is integrated through digital simulations, online research, and multimedia presentations, enriching the learning experience and deepening student engagement.
